Thanks to a leak of the next issue of Game Informer by NeoGAF member Cartman86, we learn today that the studio founded by the Call of Duty creators are developing a game called Titanfall, and it will be targeted for PC, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. While Respawn Entertainment is working on the PC and Xbox One versions, the Xbox 360 rendition will be developed by a different studio. Release date for the game is projected for Spring 2014.

The Game Informer leak confirms rumored information that we reported about a month ago. Titanfall will be a first-person shooter and it will revolve around ground battles as well as mech suits called Titans. The game was originally planned for current-generation but jumped to next-gen when it seemed like it wouldn't be possible on current hardware.

As a Xbox One next-gen exclusive, Titanfall will be utilizing Microsoft's cloud, offloading physics and AI load to the servers. The cloud will also offer dedicated servers for the title, apparently up to…well, unlimited servers. Respawn says the game would not be possible without the use of Microsoft's cloud.

The game is reported to be running on a modified version of the Source engine, allowing Respawn to achieve a 60 frames per-second. It will have a campaign multiplayer mode and regular multiplayer. No single player mode was mentioned for the game, seemingly confirms the rumor that the game is online only (Correction: It looks like there may be some type of single player mode, but the mode was not discussed). The game plans to bring single player-type moments into multiplayer matches, an attempt to blur the line between single player gaming and multiplayer.

Titanfall on Xbox One will be utilizing Xbox SmartGlass and have some degree of Kinect usage.

Expect to hear more of Respawn's game at E3 next week, most likely during Microsoft's media briefing on June 10, 9:30 am PT. You can catch that here live on GameTrailers or on Spike TV.

So what do you think about Respawn's new game? Does this game sound like it was worth the wait since the Infinity Ward split?
